Collaborations
Throughout its history, the Municipal Art Society has occasionally been invited to collaborate on the realization of a public art project in the City. If able and the project meets the mission of the organization, the Society has contributed its curatorial and artistic expertise as well as its financial resources to enable these projects to move forward. Current collaborations are featured here.
